I believe that social media has increased the quality of news and information. It is now one of the fastest ways to get news spread across the whole world. Just as how much it is great to have news spread so fast, it also has a negative impact. While news is spreading from home to home, people and also each source of the media would start to add in their own point of view of how they think the news came about or occurred. This gives many of the readers / viewers a totally different news than what has really happening.
Social media is very open to any readers and it also spreads very easily and fast. Because of the how fast these news get spread, and also in many different ways of story lines, it becomes very difficult for a researcher to collect the actual details and true statements about the news they are gathering information about. One of the advantages is that some news and information are recorded onto books, newspapers, internet are not from what many think, or what “may” have happened. This would prevent the researchers from false information. All that many people need to know now a days in this world is to know which source to rely on and which one not to rely on.
With the highly improved social media all around us, we must be able to find out for ourselves what is actually going on, instead of depending on others. Just because Social Media has got a lot of popular ways to get information to you, it does not ever mean that they are not false information. Overall, Social Media is a great way to get yourself educated. With almost everything that is happening around the world, you would be able to know where you can get information and which relates to another and sounds more truthful, instead of just listening to others and expanding the story from what you heard already.
